Finally, a PB for this version that isn't terrible!
The main goal here is just to demonstrate RNG manipulation for scrolls in the MSX1 version. I don't hit the manips in every section, but I get enough of them to demonstrate the patterns I've found so far. The RNG was also very kind at the end of this run; Lyll's lion jump and Royas's blob jump both worked on the first try. And Archwinger did what it's supposed to do for once!
Note that different MSX models do have significantly different performance in this version, mainly on the load times between screens. This seems to be mainly due to BIOS calls taking longer on later models. I'm using a real MSX2+, which happens to be the slowest platform. I estimate this time would have been 3-4 minutes faster if I'd run it on a native MSX1.
Played on a Panasonic FS-A1WX and captured with a RetroTink 5X-Pro. Final time determined by counting frames in Avidemux.
